Workers at the Green King Brewery group are heading out on strike next month over pay.
Unite workers at its operations in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Abingdon, in Oxfordshire, and its Bury St Edmunds headquarters in Suffolk are set walk out for five days from December 5. The union said 188 of its members are taking part in the action.
They voted for strike action after the business offered them a 3 per cent pay rise and a one-off payment of £650 help with the cost of living crisis – which the union said would be a real-terms pay cut because of the impact of inflation.
